Chainsaws make me happy

ORN: This morning, with the best running group ever, I ran 6 miles in 1:02'47". This is nearly three minutes longer than my PR last time I ran six miles partly because I was running with some slower runners unfamiliar with the course. I had to ensure they made their turns and didn't get lost. It was fun, except when I lost them for about ten minutes. It turns out the slower of the two took an unannounced short cut on account of her knee acting up on the hills. I totally understood. I was greatly relieved when I found myself about three minutes behind them coming out of the worst of the hills. I caught up and made sure they made it back safe and sound.

Then, I went home and broke out the chainsaw. I chopped up a mess of trees, and now I am sore head to toe. I want to soak in a hot bath for the rest of the weekend. I wonder if I can swing that?

  1. You can and SHOULD do the hot bath thing!! I love hot baths now!! DBF and I took our doggie out to Cherokee yesterday afternoon and wow, what a difference a day makes. It was MOSTLY clear and very runnable! Glad you and your group had a successful run!

    No lost souls ran into me, either...

    busting out the chainsaw counts for cross training, so you can do what the hell you want to, especially after doing it after a run!
